8.1. SR 08-19-2013 City of Elk Request for Action River To Item Number Mayor and City Council 8.1 Agenda Section Meeting Date Prepared by General Business August 19, 2013 Chris Leeseber ,Park Planner-Planner Item Description Reviewed by Addressing Appeal by Victoria White Cal Portner, City Administrator Reviewed by Action Requested Staff recommends denial of the appeal that would keep the subject property's address the same. Background/Discussion The Addressing Committee changed several addresses at the intersection of 213`''Avenue and Kennedy Street. This issue was brought to the address Committee's attention following a building permit application for a new home construction in the area. To address the new home the Address Committee found several area addresses did not correlate to the addressing system/grid. The purpose of an address is to locate a premises or property as quickly and efficiently as possible, especially during an emergency. The street name provides emergency responders with road location and access. The actual address, or building numbers, correlates to where on the street the building is located. The two work together in a grid format. Mrs. White's driveway is shared by her and her neighbor and it runs north and south along the Kennedy Street alignment. Three other properties along with the new home property to the north also fall on this Kennedy Street alignment. There are a total of five homes and the new home on the Kennedy Street alignment. Of the five existing homes, four have an address off of 213"'Avenue,which runs perpendicular to the road/driveways the homes are located on. One of the properties already has a Kennedy Street address. After receiving notice from the city that her address would change,Mrs. White contacted the city stating she did not want her address changed and requested the City Council consider for reversal. After speaking with Mrs. White,the Address Committee considered an option to maintain her property address,but would require an address change to a neighboring property to the south. Regardless, one address needs to change. The Address Committee recommends changing Ms. White's address as it better fits the Kennedy Street alignment. Financial Impact There are no financial impacts to the city,but there may be financial impacts to the affected property.
